This book covers recent developments in epidemic process models and related data on temporally varying networks. It is widely recognized that contact networks are indispensable for describing, understanding, and intervening to stop the spread of infectious diseases in human and animal populations; “network epidemiology” is an umbrella term to describe this research field.More recently, contact networks have been recognized as being highly dynamic. This observation, also supported by an increasing amount of new data, has led to research on temporal networks, a rapidly growing area. Changes in network structure are often informed by epidemic (or other) dynamics, in which case they are referred to as adaptive networks.This volume gathers contributions by prominent authors working in temporal and adaptive network epidemiology, a field essential to understanding infectious diseases in real society.

The cell center model is applied to elucidate the formation of neat cell arrangements in epidermis, cell patterns consisting of heterogeneous-sized cells, capillary networks, and the branching patterns of blood vessels.

This textbook provides an introduction to the mathematical models of population dynamics in mathematical biology. The focus of this book is on the biological meaning/translation of mathematical structures in mathematical models, rather than simply explaining mathematical details and literacies to analyze a model. In some recent usages of the mathematical model simply with computer numerical calculations, the model includes some inappropriate mathematical structure concerning the reasonability of modeling for the biological problem under investigation. For students and researchers who study or use mathematical models, it is important and helpful to understand what mathematical setup could be regarded as reasonable for the model with respect to the relation between the biological factors involved in the assumptions and the mathematical structure of the model.Topics covered in this book are; modeling with geometric progression, density effect in population dynamics, deriving continuous time models from discrete time models, basic modeling for birth-death stochastic processes, continuous time models, modeling interspecific reaction for the continuous time population dynamics model, competition and prey-predator dynamics, modeling for population dynamics with a heterogeneous structure of population, qualitative analysis on the discrete time dynamical system, necessary knowledge about fundamental mathematical theories to understand the dynamical nature of continuous time models. The book includes popular topics in ecology and mathematical biology, as well as classic theoretical topics.By understanding the biological meaning of modeling for simple models, readers will be able to derive a specific mathematical model for a biological problem by reasonable modeling. The contents of this book is made accessible for readers without strong Mathematical background.

This textbook introduces essential mathematical concepts and techniques through concrete examples for those studying biology and related fields. It aims to convey the fascination of using mathematical models to understand living systems while providing the foundational skills needed to analyze such models.In recent years, mathematical modeling has become increasingly important for understanding biological phenomena. Such models now play crucial roles in fields ranging from neuronal electrical activity and the molecular mechanisms of muscle contraction to the formation of morphological patterns during development and the study of brain function. Advances in modeling ecological and social behavior, as well as evolutionary processes, have further established mathematical modeling as an indispensable tool in theoretical and mathematical biology.Mathematical models clarify logical structures, uncover unexpected patterns, and reveal commonalities across seemingly different disciplines. They also enable quantitative predictions that allow hypotheses to be tested against experimental and observational data.Chapters in this book cover topics such as population dynamics, adaptive strategies, and principles of coexistence. Readers are introduced to dynamic optimization, control theory, and game theory, along with stochastic modeling techniques based on Markov and diffusion processes.The purpose of this book is to present mathematical ideas in an intuitive and accessible way, helping biology students appreciate the fascination of mathematical modeling while acquiring essential analytical skills. With a focus on ecological contexts, it provides the background knowledge and core concepts needed to show how simple models can clarify underlying logic and unify diverse biological phenomena.

This textbook provides an introduction to theoretical biology using specific topics and explains the main mathematical methods. The book also introduces the “structural theories” developed by the author and his colleagues as new theoretical methods. Structural theories are mathematical theories that determine key aspects of the behavior of dynamical systems from network information alone. The book details the practical applications of these methods across several biological network systems and shows that they are practically useful for analyzing the behaviors of biological systems.The first half of the book focuses on the dynamics that arise from the regulation of biomolecular activity, such as gene expression and protein modification. The second half of the book approaches the understanding of the dynamics of complex systems composed of many biomolecules. Each chapter covers current and important topics in biological research, and its description of how biological phenomena are theoretically elucidated effectively conveys the importance and appeal of mathematical methods.This book is not only a comprehensive textbook on theoretical biology, but also a study guide for learning mathematical methods. It also serves as a specialized reference for systematically learning new mathematical theories. The “Mathematical Methods” section at the end of each chapter offers a concise summary and facilitates efficient learning for readers, along with the exercises. Target readers of this book are from upper undergraduate students to senior researchers interested in the dynamics of complex network systems in biology. It appeals to both mathematical and experimental biologists, as well as chemists and physicists.
